Myself and my girlfriend have just received a job offer from Maple Bear Bundang. Could anyone please tell us anything they know about this school, what Bundang is like, and if we are making the right decision to work there.

Bundang is a very wealthy suburb of Seoul. I've never spent much time there, but I'm sure it's a nice place to live.

I worked at Maple Bear for a year in Suwon. It wasn't an amazing place to work, but I was happy there and you enjoyed it. Many of the problems came from people being asked to do things, almost as though working there was actually a job.

An issue when I worked there is that a Canadian curriculum focuses on things that are hard to teach to Korean kids. A class based on discussion, student input and cultural knowledge is hard to teach to students who might not even know the alphabet.

I'd love to speak to someone who's had experience or has heard anything about the Maple Bear in Ilsan. I was offered a position there and the environment seems great from the information I've been given so far.

I don't have enough posts to PM so if you're willing, please email me at jeanaventura@gmail.com if you have comments. Please and thank you!

Hi mnior!

I also received an offer from Bundang. I haven't found any posts directly related to that branch. Did you end up working for them, and how was it? They are offering me an elementary position. So far it all sounds really good, but it sounds like I should be wary of certain branches. Would love to hear about your experience!

i don't know about the bundang branch, but i worked at one of the seoul branches for a year. overall, it was fine. great apartment, good pay, intelligent students, pretty decently organized curriculum. just killer hours.

talk to someone who works there. if you can't get in touch with anyone, you can try facebook creeping some of the current teachers:

I was just connected with Maple Bear by People Recruit. Does anyone have any experience working at Maple Bear Incheon? So far my experience has been positive with People Recruit, I am being connected with the school so I don't know when my interview will be yet. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!
